I currently have a fairly old PC with an Athlon64 running Vista in 32 bit mode. I am about to put together a new setup to replace it with Corei7 and 6GB RAM. This will need Vista to run in 64 bit mode to address all the memory.
The Vista DVD I have only has the 32 bit code on it. I can order a "media only" copy of Vista 64 but would like to know if my current product key will work or if I will need to order a new copy with a new key. I know that some versions of Vista come with 64 bit copies of the code on the same disk but don't know if some versions are limited to just 32 bit mode.
Thanks for any advice.
